We're back to debasing ourselves with movies! 

Will and Jared discuss one of the most influential action films of all time: Akira Kurosawa's legendary samurai western Yojimbo. After a thorough recap, the duo consider the impact of the film in a modern lens, the numerous remakes and homages made to the film in the years since, and how director Kurosawa's work still puts modern directors to shame.
